Why is it so Important? What if I don't have time?
Well, it's important because you can literally plan out exactly what you are eating and keep track if you are doing a meal plan based on calorie intake or macros. It helps you control your portions as well.
And you always have time! I meal prep for the whole week and it takes 3 hours out of my day off…. That's not bad people. Plus you won't have to worry about cooking during the week which is always a plus after a long day of work.
Want some easy ideas?
Here are some of the things that I can prep pretty fast.
- Quinoa [in rice cooker]
- Brown Rice [in rice cooker]
- Steamed Veggies

- Tilapia
- Turkey Meatballs
- Turkey Burgers with Pineapple as a bun
- Chicken & Veggie kabobs
- Stir Fry
TIPS:
- Get a scale
- Freeze the second half of the week meals to conserve food
- Prep EVERYTHING, including snacks
- use my fitness pal app to keep track of intake (or food log)
- be consistent
